Product Description
Synopsis
Everyone brings baggage to a new relationship. Agnes knew her fiance Robin Firth had a failed marriage behind him. Until the night the police called, she had no idea how directly his past would affect her.When his son Mouse is blamed for a fatal car-crash, Robin's fury stuns both the boy and Agnes. Making matters worse are the amnesia which prevents Mouse remembering what happened in the car, and his refusal to believe he was drunk.Then the village church burns down. Mouse hasn't burned anything for years, but inevitably suspicion falls on him. The police inquiry doesn't concern Agnes as much as the interest of a band of New Age travellers in the improbable survival of the church's relic. It's supposed to be a Crusader banner, but that doesn't make sense either. Nor does the behaviour of the man who gave it to St Bride's forth years ago.Reluctantly, Agnes is drawn into events more complex - and more threatening - than she could ever have foreseen.

Typ[ical Jo Bannister - EXCELLENT
8 Jun 2008
Format:Hardcover
Jo Bannister is one of my always-read authors. Her Brodie Farrell mysteries are excellent. This one, with entirely new characters, continues her trend of excellence. The plot is intriguing, in that Mouse (Matthew) the alleged perpetrator of the murder of his mother and a church arson, is a young man who is alleged, at age 6, to have started the fire in his home which caused his mother to rescue him, and which created severe psychological problems for him. The detective, and his rescuer, is his father's fiance (father and mother having divorced many years earlier). Following Agnes (our detective) through disagreements with fiance Robin over his angry abandonment of Mouse, Vicar Parsons' inadvertent involvement because a key clue is a supposed medieval banner hanging in his church (and yes, Vicar Parsons is very aware of the humor in his name and calling), to the final struggle to save Mouse's life and the denoumant of the true villain, is well-written and exciting. Add in medieval religious legends and war in the Middle East in the pre-Israel period, and I was breathlessly turning pages until the end. And, I didn't have a clue as to the real villain until the last 20 pages. An intriguing mystery, a great read.
